Mayor Colleen Mahr and the Fanwood Borough Council condemn in the strongest terms the racist and disgusting graffiti someone scrawled on our high school walls over the weekend. Words and images of hate do not define us in any way, shape or form. We are confident law enforcement will catch up with the perpetrators in short order and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. We are proud of our diverse and inclusive community and believe this incident does nothing to diminish that.

We stand ready to work with our community to further this conversation and take appropriate action to make our words mean something.

Sincerely,

Mayor Colleen Mahr
Councilwoman Erin McElroy Barker
Councilman Anthony Carter
Councilman Russ Huegel
Councilman Tom Kranz
Councilwoman Kathy Mitchell
Council President Jack Molenaar
